Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1993 and is located one hours drive northeast of Little Rock, Arkansas. It is located in the flood plain of the White River and Red River adjacent to the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. The refuge is an important stagging and wintering area for pintail ducks and hosts a large and diverse wintering concentration of both ducks and geese. The habitat of the refuge is a diverse mix of bottomland hardwood, a variety of wetland/moist soil management units, and a rice culture based cooperative farm operation. Water management capability is present and allows numerous management techniques for a variety of species. The refuge is becoming renown as a birding site due to the variety of waterfowl, shore and wading birds, neotropical birds, and a wintering concentration of bald eagles.
